Many New Hampshire business view supporting nonprofits to foster community development as a "win-win."

"You have a choice as a business person does it matter or does it not matter that you're integrated into the community that you serve or that you're a part off," says Amanda Grappone Osmer, the fourth generation owner of the Grappone Auto Group. "For us it matters very much."

As a long-time purchaser of CDFA tax credits, Amanda says there are multiple benefits to both the nonprofit organization and her business.
